About Us

Since 2008, the Business Improvement District (BID) for Royal Leamington Spa has made excellent progress in delivering services and projects, agreed by the BID Board and its partners, which increase the appeal of the town, support the businesses and help to improve trading performance.

BID Leamington delivers for the town and its local businesses through four activity areas: Promoting, Enhancing, Supporting and Influencing. Some of our initiatives are very high public profile and some less so, all with the common aim of improving Royal Leamington Spa for the benefit of all.

We provide a single, collective voice for the retail and leisure businesses of Leamington, raising matters of concern with decision makers, providing business support to support growth and promote the town far and wide.

We are proud to be accredited by The BID Foundation, recognising the strong governance, transparency and accountability of BID Leamington. This is detailed below.

Please take time to explore this website to learn more about us and our activities. The BID team are very passionate about supporting the town and it’s businesses, so please get in touch if you would like to meet us or find out more.

We can be contacted on 01926 470634 or by email: info@bidleamington.com. We also urge you to join us on social media by following the links at the bottom of our homepage.
